R-1.9.0 beta: vignettes for package grid

I have no problems on WinXP, so I agree with Peter: check for R_LIBS set wrong (which was Stefano's problem last time we saw this) and then for the current lattice (0.9-10). On 9 Apr 2004, Peter Dalgaard wrote:

Since release of R-1.9.0 is very close, let me mention that there
seems to be a problem when building vignettes for package grid (see
below), e.g. yesterday's R-1.9.0 beta on Windows NT 4.0.

This looks familiar... Are you sure that you're not picking up an old version of something (lattice, say)? I think that last time we saw it, the reason was either not having run rsync-recommended or having an older version in the library path.
I have unpacked R-1.9.0beta_latest.tar.gz from CRAN master in Vienna into a clean directory. Quite probably, I had set R_LIBS before (in order to check some problematic packages for R-1.8.x). Looking closer, there is lattice_0.9-09.tar.gz and lattice_0.9-10.tar.gz included in the R-1.9.0beta_latest.tar.gz, but the link lattice.tgz is missing. For that reason, lattice was not available at the default location and the outdated version in R_LIBS was found. Therefore, it seems to be a problem with building the beta snapshot. Uwe
